"A highwayscribery "Book Report"" according to Stephen Siciliano. It's the rare western book that invites a Marxian analysis, but Elmer Kelton, who died recently, was the rare western writer."The Day the Cowboys Quit," takes place at the intersection of rugged American individualism and the collective efforts of the undercapitalized to improve their lot.The book renders a cowboys' strike - a fascinating concept - that actually happened, on ranches in the Canadian River region of west Texas circa 18. "Entertaining History Lesson" according to Justin Liles. This story about actual events in the Texas panhandle was very entertaining. It portrays the time very accurately with many varied characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it.. "Well-written story of conflict on the open range ." according to Ronald Scheer. Kelton's novel has some of the ingredients of pulp western fiction - big ranchers against the little guys, justice at the end of a rope, an honorable hero wearing a sheriff's badge - but he brings a great deal of insight, experience, and historical background to the task of telling this story. It is enjoyable and full of well-drawn characters and unexpected turns of plot from beginning (a squabble over the brand on a cow) to the end
